A bit about me.

I'm Hamza Mohammed, a final-year Computer Science student at the University of Mosul, studying in the Networks department. I'm currently completing my CCNA alongside my degree, and I have a genuine interest in how networks are built, secured, and kept running.

On the side, I've spent the past two years building web applications and REST APIs — mostly in Laravel — which means I also understand how systems talk to each other, how servers are configured, and how to write scripts that automate the boring parts.

I'm based in Duhok, Iraq and actively looking for a full-time role where I can contribute to IT operations or networking infrastructure.

Studied Wireless & Mobile Computing, Internet of Things, and Cloud Computing as part of the 4th-year curriculum. This provides an understanding of how modern networks extend beyond traditional infrastructure into edge and distributed environments.

Network Scripting & Monitoring

Built a real-time network monitoring dashboard using Python and Flask that displays live internet speed, connected devices, and routing table data. Also built a TCP socket-based chat server, providing hands-on experience with low-level network programming.
